This week we have a special guest, Grief and Loss Coach, Jasmine CL Baker, @jasmineclbaker  on the podcast and she definitely set it straight about how we need to show up as believers as we process grief and loss. The holidays can be hard dealing with all of the external pressure but on this episode, we talk about the internal woes that come surrounding the holiday season when of course you are grieving from not having that person around anymore but also the grief of not being where you want to be in life.

Hey Healing Bestie, 

God has people that were always tied to your life before time. They had a specific season and reason to be in your life. Those people you just know it is a blessing to be around and have the need to be appreciated. In this week's episode, we talk about those people and how we can actively appreciate them and embrace them this holiday season. Nothing like a little gratitude to brighten your holiday spirit to be grateful for those you have that love on you and you love them back.

Healing Bestie, there is so much already that we are healing from year round so you know what during the holidays we need that grace to just still offer care to ourselves to still be in a safe space of healing during the holidays. This episode we chat all about voids, the people-pleasing aspect of the holidays, holiday pressure and setting boundaries. Bestie, we get real about the ugly parts of healing when faced with all the holiday festivities.

It is the healing for me in this week's episode. Sometimes on your healing journey to overcoming shame, you have to notice that even though you overcome what you have done not everyone is going to. That freedom that you get once you come into Christ is what you have to hold onto and keep going. Pray for every part of the situation that led you to feel shame and leave it with God. then, you have to keep going and heal and work on the parts of you with God for a true transformation of your heart.

God is so good and faithful to us in the small and big blessings we receive. Always let your heart rejoice in how good God is. Never let the circumstances or the pain go above your gratitude for God. This week's episode is a prayer to get your heart centered on being at a place of gratitude.

Listen I have been there where it feels like God has you going back to very place that hurts you and has you offering all the things that you think those who hurt you don't deserve like love, grace and forgiveness. Whew, you know it is real growth when you can do it and know that it is for the greater good. That is all God. In this week's episode, we will talk about God's care for us is to work on the inside of us. God is always doing something in a multitude. The healing He provides multiplies.
